The Russia bombing

The scariest thing about the exploding visitor at the Russian airport today is that his/her TNT blast went off in a so-called soft target area, i.e. the public area, where no ticket or boarding pass is required and friends and family are awaiting an arrival. Stratfor’s Ben West sums it up here. Takes a minute to load.

P3 at Whidbey

An example of the nephew’s bird at Whidbey Island NAS which I know he hopes to fly again one day.

P3TOa

UPDATE:  Alas, the nephew’s health problems prevented him from getting back on the flight deck. After a stint with Naval Intelligence, another on the USS Enterprise and finally managing a ROTC program, he got out of the Navy. Seems happier, though I bet he misses his P3.

ROTC should ban the Ivy League

“Banning ROTC at the Ivies is as damaging to the military as banning recruitment at Vassar would be to the NFL.”

Heh.

Jihad Bells, Jihad Bells

A little late for Christmas, granted. But just in time for the bombing of the Christian church in Alexandria. Only 21 dead, so far. Come on jihadis! You can do better than that. God is great! Etc.

As Blazing Cat Fur says (why yes, cat fur can talk) just take a wild guess.

(Not that these, ahem, unfortunate incidents are anything new to the Religion of Peace.)

Dear Leader’s timely recognition

Praise where praise is overdue.

“DEAR LEADER KIM JONG IL ANNOUNCES BRAVE TRUTHSEEKERS TO RECEIVE MEDALS FROM DEMOKRATIK PEOPRE’S REPUBRIK OF KOREA –

(Pyongyang) Rooters News Agency

The Dear Leader announced today that Wikireaks founder Jurian Assange and US Army Private First Crass Bradrey Manning are to receive the highest recognition that a non-citizen can receive, The Order Of Friendship – First Crass™”

Read it all, comrade. That’s an order.

Duck and cover

Duck and cover (if you aren’t sitting in Ground Zero) was always good advice, when I was a schoolkid back in the Dark Ages of the 1950s, despite the mockery of it ever since by Lefty writers and journalists.

But it is odd that Obamalot is promulgating it now.

“What they’re telling you is that you’re going to get nuked, there’s nothing they can do about it, they have no intention of trying to do anything substantive about it, and the best thing for you to do is to learn to be a contortionist — it’s hard to bend over far enough to kiss your ass goodbye.”

Well, even Bush II only said Iran could not have nukes. He never said what, if anything, substantive could be done to stop them.

So far, only Stuxnet has, thanks, in all probability, to the Mossad and Israel’s covert version of its high-tech industry. One German expert estimates for at least two years.

“…Iran’s best move would be to throw out all of the computers that have been infected by the worm, which he said was the most ‘advanced and aggressive malware in history.’ But, he said, even once all of the computers were thrown out, Iran would have to ensure that computers used by outside contractors were also clean of Stuxnet.”

Shalom, guys. Keep it up.
